Default Recommended mods, big or small?

Hi guys, just got myself a LC500!

i was wondering what mods you would recomend doing? I am thinking lowering springs, exhuast, sideskirts + front lip, wheels and vicrez mudflaps?

I would love some feedback on what big or small mods you guys have done, and what website to buy the parts from!

Only things I will be doing to mine are carbon fiber engine bay, carbon side skirts, carbon front splitter and carbon rear defuser with maybe an armytrix exhaust. All of which are reversable. I have never seen an LC with mudflaps though.

I was going to get a bodykit, but i realized that after examining the side profile of the LC (at least convertible anyways), the greenhouse area is already quite small. Basically the percentage of the body seems significantly more than the glass/visible. If i added any more body pieces she'll seem that much more chunky and might be a bit too much.

The area beneath the door opening is tapered in, and angled up to make it look like a narrow waist. Most bodykits ive seen, exaggerated this slimming part outwards and increase the mass.

This is the subtle kit I will most likely go with. I would get it in carbon fiber for my white LC. It uses the factory bolts and clips so totally removable if you want it back to stock and it's not chunky in any way.

In my opinion, the LC doesn't need much if any, it looks and sounds great as it is in OEM form.

However, the most I would ever do is a light drop with some wheels.

I'm going to try really hard not to do mods on my one when I get it........but I know that idea is probably going to go out the window ...... this thread is certainly not going to help
